So I noticed this awhile back in the Arma II beta patches: [93958] New: Dropping items while swimming can be disabled with "enableItemsDropping = 0;" in description.ext Are the server admins for DayZ allowed to turn this on (set to 0)? Could it be made a standard? I've gone swimming with a zipped up backpack before and my entire contents didn't magically jump out. Also the character models appear to have secure storing locations on the waist and legs that would keep items from falling out while swimming.... More realistic the better!

Thanks for that tidbit!

Good point. Makes sense, but I have a waterproof backpack. Shouldn't the higher grade backpacks be at least waterproof?

I disagree that we shouldn't have heatmaps. Depending on how the heat map is generated, the entire map will show some level of heat. There is well over 50 servers, over 25k concurrent players, and over 100k in a day. This means that several 100k peoples data is going to be in there. I do agree that displaying tents or vehicles on a heatmap is retarded. And you probably shouldn't show alive people. If its by living locations: A few people with their predicted set of movements would be impossible to discern.The chances of special spots being revealed is somewhat possible if you spend more than 50% of the time there with a ton of people. Large camps in unknown areas with large amounts of clan members could be displayed. If its by human deaths: No problem here unless you hold suicide parties in camps. If so... wtf anyways :/ If its by zombie deaths: No problem unless zombies are nearby a camp? Probably not a good camp location if they are.

I would leave to see a "heat map" of all players overlayed on the map! Something like their locations for x duration with x radius. Or maybe a "heat map" of bullets fired by all players? Would be totally awesome to visualize that data! Edit: Meh I should have read more. Already brought up. :/ To lazy. Edit2: No alive players. How about player deaths/zombie deaths?

(BUG) So I know its tiny and rather insignificant... but how about that unconscious hour glass? Might take what... a few mins to fix? ;D (Feature) Or Maybe hitting respawn actually respawns you? Note: I would post on the dev site... but atm I am too lazy/tired to register.

Server: Dallas 49 When: Aprox. 1:50am GMT -6 What happened? I guy was shooting like... I dunno 50 shots with his sniper (at least several clips worth) in a short period of time behind the power station in Elektro on the mountian. He killed my buddy in Elektro, so I found a crossbow with one bolt and my buddy came back and I gave him my hatchet and we hunted him down. 1 Bolt == win. I checked his body and he had the BAF AS50 with 7 clips. He also had a Coyote 24 pack backpack full of that ammo and 10 clips or so for the FN FAL. He also had a GPS, rangefinder,map, and any other accessory item you would ever need. After we killed him we noticed bombs started drop on Elektro nearby. We could hear large explosions and Smoke appearing in the town. So we logged the hell out. SADLY, I do not know his name as we were playing Veteran. Can you guys please review the logs for Dallas 49? Thanks! Note: I did some research on the matter of hacking in DayZ and I believe he was using known exploits and scripts. Edit: I felt pretty good about my kill and the loot but then felt depressed when I saw the bombs dropping in Elektro. I was totally happy with my loot, but if this was hacker spawned loot feel free to wipe my inventory... as I would have nothing but a crossbow if I hadn't killed this guy... Edit2: Oh dear lord I have the FN FAL AN/PVS-4 as well. Please tell me I just killed some geared dude and not a hacker :(

Let me make it clear. He went through 5+ clips yet his inventory/backpack was entirely filled with ammo except for 1-2 spaces. After he died Elektro started to get airstriked.

I just watched a Jet do a barrel roll and crash on top of the barracks at NWAF. Blew up after awhile and caught fire and then I saw a parachute freaking out in the hanger with no body attached.

I am glad the global channels have been removed. One problem... some servers running the latest patches/beta patches don't have direct text comm working. I tried it with a friend over skype standing right next to me and he couldn't hear me. Are admins able to stop direct comm? Also, like someone said earlier.... An awesome form of Global would be radios. They go in accessory slot and enable you to use global (renamed radio?)

I got a cool story! -Spawns -Takes one step without going prone -Agroes 2 zombies somehow at shore -First Hit LEG BREAK! -Hits soon after, UNCONSCIOUS! -YOU ARE DEAD -"This new AI is amazing. I think they were Chuck Norris clones gone horribly wrong"

MY LEGS ARE MADE OF FREAKING TOOTHPICKS I don't know of many super strong guys who can swing their arms in a clawing motion to break someones leg.

Yes I am imitating Rockets thread because it is a great idea. So an idea... Do you think it would be better if players could not disconnect from certain buildings? If connection was truly lost or b/c there isn't a way to code it, they would log back in outside of the building? Possible buildings: Barracks, Fire-station, Hospital. PROS: -Slows item spawn farming -Prevents players from having their buddies log in at same building to avenge them. *cough* Barracks *cough* CONS: -Reduces shelter options for players upon logging out (Rain) -Not realistic? Edit: Assuming Rocket fixes the abusive disconnections and implements some sort of Log Out Delay as to which I believe he said he was working on. Please respond either YES or NO. Keep the chatter to a minimum!

NO. I have a Makarov at home. I have a Remi at home.

Bug 1 Found A stack of hatchets and crowbars that looked exactly like shotgun shells... Couldn't put into inventory. http://imgur.com/CSr9n Edit: Attempting to add them into my inventory made them disappear! Edit: Confirmed! The shotgun shells/ammo of crowbar and hatchet appears when dropping gear, regardless if you have a hatchet/crowbar or not! Bug 2 Since before this patch.... When throwing a flare/chemlight laying down, I go through the whole throwing animations but I throw nothing. Then without pressing anything my character moves to crouch and tosses the flare/chemlight. (haven't tried frag, smoke, cans or bottles) Bug3? When Picking up a weapon all other ammo is dropped in either primary weapon slots or secondary weapon slots if the weapon is not owned... and even if you have the space for the new weapon and its associated ammo!

NO B/c i will blow up my headphones listening for heartbeats. Something else? Blood on hands within hr of murdering?

I believe people with racist names are to be banned? Names: A Grippa Da Rippa Nigga Agrippa Da Rippa Nigga Where: Dallas 33 Pic Proof: http://imgur.com/xFqPm

You can bandage someone who is unconscious' date=' but you can't bandage yourself when you're unconscious. [/quote'] I think we need to get back to original menu style for bandages, morphine and painkillers. Having these in menu makes healing yourself much more obvious rather than taking a guess what you need to do in your Gear menu or how to fix your bones\shaking screen. (I saw streams with newbie players taking all their morphine and painkillers for no reason) I stopped to notice that I got bleeding wound because usually having "Bandage yourself" in menu gave me a hint that I was bleeding and right now I can loose lots of blood because flashing white cross is not enough to warn me about bleeding. Eating food\pitching tents\making fires\etc. from Gear menu is fine but healing actions are available by the context and they should appear in menu. I would have to agree with you, I liked the older style for using medical supplies. I like that as well...

Yo! I think my group of friends are going to make our "home server" Dallas 13. I talked to AnXi3Ty in IRC and was impressed. Love it when the admins baby the server and keep it running smooth (not to mention networking experience :D)! Since we are planning to play on your server often, I was wondering if you guys wanted to form a friendly alliance or absorb us in? Currently We don't have a clan tag of our own, but we can create one to be more easily identified (if not absorbed). If interested, I was thinking it would be easier on both groups to be in an alliance vs. absorption because some of our members don't player on a daily basis. We don't mind using vent, and matter-of-fact we prefer it over teamspeak. All of us are 21+, and most of just graduated from college. We love playing DayZ and we want to play with other respectful and fun players. We are mostly survivors but one or two of us will be Bandits on occasion... typically from self defense. Two of us are more experienced then the rest of our members, only because we have just recently begun inviting friends to play and try the awesome that is DayZ. Our main goal is to play with like minded players, watch each others backs, and contribute to a greater cause like getting a Heli up in the air, a buss rolling down the streets, fortifying a position, or gearing up friends by loading up tents. We pull our own weight and we don't expect hand outs. Anyways, I'll get on yall's vent sooner or later. Currently we are LANing to celebrate the end of college for a few of us :D

Great idea! +1

I mentioned this in another thread but... My friend was banned from US Hardcore 1 or 2 by the admin as soon as he logged in. It was our first time on the server yet he claimed that he banned my friend, EL BANDITO, for aborting during PVP. This is funny because admins should only ban for 2 reasons as quoted by Rocket: "In short, their are only two reasons why you, as a server owner, should ban a player on your server. Those two reasons are: Malicious talk, and racism. You may not ban a user for stealing your loot, killing you, spying on you, etc." Also, we had never been this server. He banned him by name, not unique ID. This is frustrating b/c other players can use the same name. Someone slap an admin for me? Edit: I apologize if I posted this in the wrong area.
